SIR: Jim Alker in his reply to Mr B Collinson's letter about the Kearsley relief road (Your Views, May 28), stated that there should be a relief road built which would then take all the traffic onto the motorway.
Unfortunately, once the road is built there will be incoming traffic as well as outgoing traffic, and when the traffic builds up, some people will say, we need another road to take the traffic away, and then we are back to square one.
Surely the answer is not to build more roads, but to use alternatives like the railway and as they do on the continent, use camels and make better use of public transport which is in a mess.
